hi guys! im new here, ive been trying to find a site that can teach me how to drift my tamiya RC car, and finally i found one!
im currently using a stock ta04 mercedes benz CLK dtm & got a few questions
my car now is currently on RWD settings tried drifting w/ stock tires and failed... now i learned that i can use pvc or abs pipes for tires... but i read somewhere here that 4wd cars are easier to drift? shall i put back my 4wd belt again? or RWD will do?
2nd question, whats the diameter of a stock wheel of a ta04 kit? what pipe diameter can i use?
thanks in advance drifters!

2 inch pipe at any hardware store. I brought my rim in to make sure. It's a tight fit.
O yea, 4WD drifting is waaaaaaaaaaaay easier to drift and a 2WD. I know in real life drifting it's the other way around. Once you put the PVC pipe and your belt, you'll be in drift heaven.
